Hoping to make Bolander (
Ned Beatty) less self-conscious about their first date, Linda (
Melissa Leo) agrees to double-date with Howard (
Melissa Leo) and Danvers (
Zeljko Ivanek) -- but the jealous Munch (
Richard Belzer) messes things up. Back on the job, Bayliss (
Kyle Secor) investigates when a phone-sex operator is found strangled, clutching a note that seems to point directly to her killer. And Lewis (
Clark Johnson) and Crocetti (
Jon Polito) look into a murder at the library, committed by an "ink-pen fetishist." This was the final episode of
Homicide's very brief second season. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
